Where is the light?
Without looking its reflection on an object, you can't see it.
Light you can't see unless it reflects on some object,
maybe persons, mountains, maybe animals,
then you see light... Likewise.
This consciousness, how you become different?
You see, there is calm ocean;
ocean is calm, no waves.
It has potentiality. Waves are within the ocean.
It's a calm ocean.
When the wave rises,
it finds itself the she's separate from the ocean.
Why? Name. Form.
So consciousness, how you separate yourself from consciousness?
How?
How you separate yourself (from) consciousness
and gather here to return to consciousness?
What's the difficulty here?
Let us explain.
The consciousness, when it reflects within the consciousness
it will shine as consciousness itself.
There arises the notion.
Consciousness reflecting into the consciousness
and shining as consciousness,
there arise notion:
'I am'.
You have separated from
consciousness which has no name and no form.
The notion 'I am' instantly creates this manifestation.
You begin with earth, water, fire, air, ether,
and then objects, you see.
We see the differences.
We see difference.
And we see the difference because of names and forms.
The consciousness is reflecting,
is on the objects that it has created with the notion 'I am.'
Whole manifestation,
with everything, with Creator up to the blade of grass.
Everything that 'I am' has created.
When there are clouds in the space,
how this space is disturbed?
With the movement of the cloud, the space is not disturbed, you see.
So, likewise, this consciousness,
which has no name and no form, is not disturbed.
So, many people, like other-ness;
this 'I am' looks like the other-ness,
is created in the forms of waves, and ripples, and eddies,
so many things.
Clearly, seeing there is no difference
between anybody and the consciousness.
The wise man, howsoever may be wise,
he is ignorant if he does not find that he is Consciousness,
he is Emptiness, he is Self, he is Absolute Brahman.
He is termed as ignorant. This is ignorance.
And this is,
superimposition is a notion that has been created.
Actually nothing is out of Consciousness.
Nothing is out of Absoluteness.
You, this is imagination that you
conceive that you are separate from your own Self.
How can it be possible?
Where did you get this notion, "I am separate,"
and then get into never-ending suffering?
Then you create your own cycle of birth and death
and never-ending suffering, you see.
This notion also does not exist.
This also does not exist.
This universe has never been created.
There are no forms and there are no names.
This is your own creation.
When you are quiet you don't see the manifestation,
and you say, "I am happy."
This happiness is your own nature, you see.
You are That.
So, how you become entangled with,
"I am not consciousness. I am separate"?
Where did you borrow this concept of separateness and suffer?
Once you rid yourself of this notion of separation
you are free here and now. You have not to wait.
You have not to wait for time.
And there is no time also here
when you make up your mind.
You have to only return back,
return back to your own status,
before this trouble created by your own self, you see.
So, if you,
if you see the very source of the emergence of 'I am' notion,
you will instantly see who you are.
So, go back to the original notion
that arose from the nameless, and formless, calm, waveless ocean.
Go back,
return at the source of 'I Am'.
What do you see?
You,
you will return to your own original Eternal state.
That's all you have to do.
Why hang on to suffering?
This is in your own hand.
As you made a choice to separate,
you can now make a choice to remove the separate..
This separation can be removed
as soon as you decide to return home. .
It doesn't need any practice,
any time,
any tradition,
any teaching.
This alone (is a) personal endeavour to cross this ocean,
endless ocean called ghost of samsara.
The child sees a ghost in the room. Actually, ghost does not exist.
This ghost also does not exist.
Your own creation here.
Look unto your own Self.
Look unto your own Self and be happy and peaceful.
That is all.
So, you don't see it, as you don't see light,
unless you see an object you don't see that, you see.
Like this, consciousness
only when it reflects on your own notion of separation
then only you can.
You cannot see consciousness,
you cannot see the light unless there is an object.
As in the crystal, you see the reflected image,
in a crystal it looks very real; very real.
In the mirror, you see your face; very real in front of you.
In the mirror, you look your face; very real.
But if the mirror is placed in front of the mirror,
what is seen there?
Mirror in front of mirror;
what do you see?
Reflection of the one mirror,
the same reflection from the other mirror.
This is, this is consciousness.
When you look,
when you look mirror, consciousness onto the onsciousness,
it shines only as consciousness and nothing else, you see.
So, from the beginning,
from the beginning you are free.
Just for your own pleasure,
for your own game you have created all this manifestation,
and you forgot.
In the game you forgot,
and starts over.
This was your own creation. You created it, you see, to play.
You can't stay alone.
This was boredom, so you created all these things yourself, you see.
You forgot it, and became miserable.
Child goes on the beach,
on the sand, he plays on the sand.
He makes houses and makes gardens.
You've done. You may have played on the beaches, you see.
And then they cook food also. All of sand.
And they get so much lost and attached to that,
they don't like to return home.
When the mother tells, "It's now dark, let's go back home,"
what the children do?
They have been very happy with their own houses,
with their own gardens and kitchen and food,
they're inviting friends also.
The mother says, "We are getting late,"
and with the same child destroys with his foot
everything that is constructed.
And he is happy with his destruction.
He is as happy as he was with the construction of the houses, you see.
Only reminder is necessary.
The mother reminded, "Getting late; let us come home."
And the child enjoyed the same happiness,
destroying all, all it had made, you see.
Same pleasure; more pleasure. "Come on, let's go."
Like this, you see, you will see, you will be very happy.
Never you have seen peace.
When you remove all this notion of separation
you will become one with absolute fullness,
perfection, fulfillment.
In limitlessness, what is there that you need?
You are perfect. You are full.
Emperor of emperors.
You are full.
You can't have any desire to acquire this apartment and that apartment.
You know all the land belongs to you.
So, how simple it is.
They say it is.
To know your own Self, to return to your own consciousness,
to be at peace,
is the happiest event that a man can do in the world.
Because you have not to go anywhere else,
you have not to do anything to return to your own Self nature.
Easiest, easiest of all, it is said, it is most easy.
You have not to do anything.
Not even to give rise to any thought.
To that extent you have not to exert.
No effort, even to think, you see.
Other things you have to think,
and then you have to put yourself into that business,
and then do, and get lost in that.
But here, you try.
When you do not give rise even to thought; even that is too much.
Even to twinkle your eye, even that is it's too much effort for you,
even to twinkle an eye.
Even to breathe is too much effort. Even between two breaths.
You find your own nature.
There cannot be anything else more, more easier than to be at peace,
than to get disturbed.
For disturbance, you have to get so many things in front of you,
digging from the past.
And then only you suffer, you see.
Bringing so many things in front of you, and you disturb your peace.
But here, you have not to do anything. You may try.
Just don't think.
Tell me if you suffer.
How, how much is it?
Without doing anything you are happy.
But with doing anything, that brings you hell.
Anything we bring in this peace, it brings hell.
First of all, it brought the manifestation.
With a single thought
it brought total manifestation with the beginning not known. Millions of years.
And it continued millions of years of future.
That much you have created by single, only creating this, this notion, that 'I'.
That's all.
if you don't address yourself as 'I,' let us see what happens.
Anybody of you try.
Don't address, don't give rise to this ripple 'I,' this notion 'I.'
Look before the rise of this notion
and tell me, tell me:
How do you suffer?
Who is suffering?
Who are you?
Could there be anything easier than this?
Even just to eat you have to go to a restaurant
and then wait there, and call, and see the menu,
then call the waiter, and waste time.
Here, wherever you are, just spend only few seconds.
They say, "How much time is needed to find this peace?"
How much time? What is it?
Who were you and what you have become? Total manifestation.
For instance,
you see, pick up a mustard seed in your hand, mustard seed.
Do you understand mustard seed or any rai seed?
Or any,
any, any similar seed or any seed;
pick up that seed.
Smallest item is a seed, no? Mustard seed is oilier.
Or
some other seed, minute seed.
So take that seed, divide it into two.
I'm taking you to your own Self by this simile.
Divide it into two. Take this half of, half quarter.
Divide it.
Then subdivide it into one-thousand parts again.
You have seen mustard seed, or may I show you first of all?
Have you seen, all of you, mustard seed? No?
You can take one mustard seed.
Just, just to pick up.
so that you will understand
what you have to concentrate upon.
So subtle. So subtle.
Yes. One only.. Not all of it.
Show them this.
This is what?
This is a mustard seed, you see. Can you take it?
See, this is a mustard seed. This. Have you seen this?
This is a mustard seed, okay? Keep it in your hand.
Divide it into half.
Take half of it,
subdivide it into one thousand parts.
Take one of the thousand part,
subdivide it into one million parts.
One million parts of this.
Then one of ten thousandth of one ten thousandth, one million times.
Because you can't, you can't.
Nothing will disappear.
There may be something, some particle.
Nothing can be destroyed in this world, you see.
Further divide it: million times.
If this concept comes,
if you have done it even by imagination,
concentrate on that, if you want to do anything.
If you want to do practice, concentrate on that:
one billionth part of a mustard seed.
Concentrate on that and tell me what do you see?
Where is the seer?
And where is the seen?
So much subtle is your force
from where emerges this 'I'
and then the manifestation into this 'I.'
Within the seed, there is a whole tree.
Sprout in the tree, in the seed sprout tree with the same fruits and the seed.
This is the matter.
From nothingness, you see.
How can you see your Self unless you have a concept of emptiness?
How you can see anything? Tell me.
Even your own body, how can you see, unless,
unless you see the background of emptiness, you see?
You can't see.
And that you are yourself.
So here, there's no chance of even mind thinking anything.
This...
You can't even think what you are, therefore give up this process of thinking.
Because you think
you are in this trouble, in this problem, because of thinking, you see.
So, give up this thinking and see.
Give it a try anytime you like.
